I'm the kind of guy that needs to see things side by side to really see the differences (hence my suggestion of the Visual Comparison for ANHR)

Which is excellent, by the way, if you haven't seen me type that before! I'm hoping you'll do one for ESBR as well. Really fun to go through. :)

Thanks for the great clips, Ady. WOW, the difference between the starfields, again, is shocking. The 2004 footage reminds me of that cool episode of "Star Trek Voyager" where they went through an area of space that had no visible stars and it made the crew miserable.

Oh, and I may be alone on this, but I kinda like Luke's greener 2004 goggles better than the more natural color. Haha.

Well we know that its a 2 piece helmet so given just how strong the wind is in that scene the helmet would move around like that so i won't be tackling that.

Isn't that what you said about the wobbly table on the Falcon? ;)

Actually, the rare LD that I have is for the '1990 Honda VTec CR-X'. It's a sort of video sales brochure for the car and is quite collectable to other CR-X'ers. It's my precious (insert best Golum voice) ... ohh dear, all this talk aof CR-X's and I think I may have put Ripplin to sleep :/

Not at all! I love the CR-X, and cars in general. :) I actually have a dealer only Honda DVD. Haha. It's called "The Power of Dreams: Salo de l'Automobil de Barcelona 2005." Just talks about innovations, like Asimo, for instance.

So yeah, I have some weird stuff, too. ;)

BTW, if by any chance you do ever buy an X0 player, then please feel free to PM me and I'll send you my ultra-rare LD for preservation ;)

That's the second time you've referred to this disc. Any chance you can tell us what it actually is sometime? ;)

About as ironic as last week when I was putting on a band-aid and got a papercut.

That's just nutty! :p I actually have a scar from a papercut. It's between my index and middle fingers. I guess it never healed properly because of where it was.

I have burned DLs only with Nero and have never made a coaster. (we're talking at least a dozen burned for far) I am absolutely convinced that a lot of people's problems come from burning too fast. I keep it slow (max 4x, often 2.4x) and everything is peachy keen.

I have only been able to burn DL's at 4x, so with me it's never an issue of burning too fast.

Same here, but I think either 6x or 8x has been selectable a couple of times I was going to do it. I did 4x anyway.

Different people will say different things, Darth Solo. For example, I have burned DLs only with Nero and have never made a coaster. (we're talking at least a dozen burned for far) I am absolutely convinced that a lot of people's problems come from burning too fast. I keep it slow (max 4x, often 2.4x) and everything is peachy keen.

And Ady, I will let you know the second I get my disc. Can't wait! (yet I must)

I think people burning at too high a speed is a big problem. Some computers just can't take it and thus make a coaster. I never burn at maximum speed, even with my new computer, no matter what program I'm using. Who cares if it takes 5 or 10 minutes longer? Better than throwing out discs. ;)

Thought I'd make a thread for people to show their Star Wars related art. If you have anything, be sure and show us!

Here is some of my stuff:

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/Ripplin/Jedipenpencil.jpg

Did this when I was 14 or so. Mostly an excuse to try the pen and pencil combination on Vader. Would've looked better had I used something more than just an HB pencil.

(I did this Boba Fett Lego guy around a year ago. He looks quite cartoony compared to these troopers, which I've all done within the last two weeks.)

(the designs in the prequels are by far my favorite part of them, sadly)

I have a lot more drawings, but they're just ancient, embarassing scribblings. :p

the very idea of outclassing and outthinking both Lucasfilm and ILM is such a bold, even spiteful thing to do and Adywan has succeeded immensely.

Well, I dunno if 'spite' would be quite the right term, but there is a certain amount of 'in your face!'ness to it, right Ady? ;)

Maybe they said it was done...to the eyes of the movie layman. To those that look for such things, it's glaringly apparent, but my mother, for example, would never notice any of it. Haha.

Still, typical spin doctorism from ILM and/or GL.

I don't remember if this had been addressed yet, but is the transparency of the interior shots of the speeders being fixed?

With all the seemingly unavoidable PT and ROTJ talk even though this is the ESB thread (I'm guilty, too), I first read 'transparency of the interior shots of the speeder bikes' and I thought 'what? I never noticed anything like...oh, oops.' :p

I would imagine that any lingering problems with those shots is one of the first things Ady thought of, though. Just another fix that would be nice if it were simpler... Would this be comparable to repainting the lasers?

Hi again. Hope things are well with you, GM. :)

Any progress on somewhere to store these? I know people are willing to host them. I have the mp3 versions of ANH and I'm really hoping to get ESB and ROTJ sometime. No rush, just curious on if there's an ETA available. ;)

Thanks.

The thing about Boba Fett's "death" to me is that it's just more silliness added to a movie that has way too much silliness in it as it is. (the belches and Tarzan yell are the worst offenders to me.) Sure, not every cool character has to go out in a 'blaze of glory', but blimey, I think that after he became the apotheosis of cool in ESB, he deserves more than getting hit by a blind man with a stick and yelling like a little girl as he bounces off the sail barge. ;)

The answers to the riddles:

1. He stood on a block of ice and waited for it to melt.

2. He takes the chicken across first, goes back and takes the fox, then takes the chicken back, then takes the grain, then goes back for the chicken.

make me laugh now though cuz i saw the HD-EP30 on sale in my local electric store for £60 now. I'm just so glad i went with Bluray.

Yeah, that whole HD war had a sort of sad ending, especially for XBox 360 owners, for example. I've seen the 360 HD-DVD player for $50 (or £25) now, and I'm sure that price will be cut in half soon enough.

Fix worked! It plays perfectly on my ps3, panasonic DMR50, and PC... but the menu locks up on my Toshiba HD A2.

Thats a fault with the Toshiba players and the NTSC versions. The same problem was reported with the NTSC DVD-5 version.After doing a lot of searching last time it seems that its to do with the firmware (some reporting that it happens on commercial DVD's & some HD-DVD's too) but don't expect Toshiba to fix it now HD-DVD is dead

I can confirm that, too. I brought a copy of the NTSC DVD-5 with me to Staples to try it on an LCD TV. They had a Toshiba HD player hooked up to it and the movie wouldn't play. It just kept freezing every time we tried playing it. Ended up playing the movie with WMP on the computer, through to the TV. Looked kinda blurry. Haha. Not a good test after all. Oh well.

Anyway, looking good Ady, it's so difficult to understand how we've just accepted the blue-tinted 2004 DVDs as being the 'best we could get' when your as-yet-unfinished initial colour correction run shows it should have been much better tweaked by those who know better!

I think a lot of us are shocked at how bad the blue is in some places, but what really looks inexcusably terrible to me are the green C-3P0 and neon green Yoda. What would GL say? "Well, after all this time, 3P0 is tarnishing and molding, and it turns out the area around Yoda's hut was highly radioactive..."

We're getting some good, interesting arguments for going either way with the Ben staying or going issue. I'd be fine with either way. Whatever happens, I know it'll be good. And more twinkly!
